Good Riddance 2011

While this year had some great things happen - I have to say I am not going to miss it too much. Shawn and I had lots of fun with Fisher, we sold a house, and moved to a much better city for us. We have really enjoyed living in Knoxville and don't miss much at all about Ashland.
But I will look back on 2011 as a tiring, rough year. Moving, adding many job duties (and of course no more pay), the stress of finding Fisher a daycare and then not being happy with it and finding him a new one, had my gallbladder out, Shawn had his tonsils out and had several complications, etc,etc.etc. Of course the most memorable thing for me personally is getting pregnant and then losing the baby. That was hard physically and emotionally. I had some stuff go on at work that was hard and some of it is tied into my pregnancy which has changed my feelings about some work related things and people. So good riddance 2011.

I am sending out 2011 on a positive note though! My little sister Rebecca came in to spend the weekend with us. We had a great time last night drinking wine and talking. Today we went and had lunch with my grandmother, Mamadot. I can't imagine anyone else I would rather spend the last day of 2011 with. I am so thankful and blessed to have a healthy, amazing grandmother still in my life at 32 years old. I enjoy every minute I spend with her and don't take any of them for granted.

Here's to a very Happy 2012 for our family and yours. May this year bring lots of happiness, love, health, and joy!
